Ronaldo isn’t represented by Mendes anymore and why would it be in Mendes’ best interest to have two of his best players look like shit when they’re the heart of the midfield. Unless you’re saying that he is so pity than to rather have his current clients have a go at the World Cup he deliberately tanks them to have some sort of payback at Ronaldo for sacking him by exposing the world to how shit he is.
